But it looks like the job is going to be harder, according to Jean-François Houle, the Rocket's head coach. For now, the Rocket's two goaltenders, Primeau and Michael McNiven, will share the task in front of the cage: "At the beginning of the season, we want to alternate McNiven and Primeau in front of the net.
It's amazing how Primeau has gone from a potential future Carey Price... to a question mark. He's calm in front of the cage, he's in control, he's square and he's technical, but his confidence level seems to be affected a bit.
Some even hint that he will never be a great number one, but rather a great 1B, or even a good auxiliary. At least that's what Eric Fichaud believes about Cayden Primeau, who pointed this out during an appearance on the JiC
television show on TVA Sports.
